[linux-cifs-client] [PATCH] cifs: fix IPv6 address length check

For IPv6 the userspace mount helper sends an address in the "ip="
option.  This check fails if the length is > 35 characters. I have no
idea where the magic 35 character limit came from, but it's clearly not
enough for IPv6. Fix it by making it use the INET6_ADDRSTRLEN #define.

While we're at it, use the same #define for the address length in SPNEGO
upcalls.
